· Solution to connect to the Smart TV portal in Spain and the UK?
sorry I don't understand this update. could someone please explain to me whats meant by the above update in the new software. I have the 8007 and I cant see any solution for UK. im in Scotland UK.
thanks.

Well, I'm pleasantly delighted that the HDNM has improved significantly.

The thing is, I've built up such an allergy against ANY HDNM artifact, that I can still see some, in some ocassions. E.g. when I watched the BluRay - 3D Safari, there are a lot of fade-in effects. And they look....artificial with HDNM set to 'minimum'. But on the other hand, The Hobbit 3D - The whole whatever the dwarves cave is that is taken over by a dragon. It's flawless! So a big thumps up for the developers who have clearly achieved a lot!
A bit of a shame it took so long, and that I've got this strong sense for anything 'wrong' with HDNM that I can still see some issues. But hey, I didn't expect any progress, so I'm quite happy.

The backlight flicker issue is gone (energy saving mode), so again well done.

I was hoping for a bit more though. Even though it was not in the release notes, an external site claimed that the sound issues (sound drops every 90 seconds) when using the ARC. That is not resolved, at least not in my specific case.
I'm still trying to find a way to isolate the issue though. I was able to test on two HDMI cables. But not e.g. using optical, or another receiving device. So I can't point the finger on the Philips TV with 100% assurance, even though I am not the only one experiencing this issue.

All in all, I'm quite happy with the leap forwards with the HDNM issue being mostly resolved, and the backlight flicker being completely resolved.

And they still didn't fix the multichannel audio output format, still the audio stops sometimes for 200ms, but only when viewing an HD channel (and also playing from network), not when viewing HDMI input...

Damn!!

And still I get the error message of an defective HDMI cable on several devices with several cables. The picture is good but this annoying message popsup every time I select the source.

Starting ambilight lounge mode takes a long time but at least it works now, so there is an improvement!

The message that a CAM module is connected keeps popping up every time when starting the telivision, of course it's there....

I think the overal response is a littlebit faster, but it is not very much. Zapping between HD channels is still slow, but this can also maybe come because the television has to wait for the keyframe...

I have noticed with the 150.85 firmware, when playing a movie from external usb harddisc with srt subtitles. The subtitles get "smeared" when there are heavy camera movements when perfect natural motion is used.

Are you (Philips) still reading here? I've not seen any comment/question from Philips' side here (or in the Technical feedback thread) since three weeks. Can you inform us about which issues Philips is working for next software release and which have priority?

please rework HDNM/PNM algorithm:
before guest what objects move to what direction do check what areas are static and set as locked that pixels
currently even with OFF mode some static areas goes with moving background together

Hi,

Yes of course we are still reading, but we will only post/react when there is new info to share. This is a user-to-user forum in the end.....
I hope you can understand that we cannot give constant info on new SW to come and which issues will be addressed, as this can change by the minute and then people will be utterly disappointed (happened a few times in the past already). All major issues you guys are reporting here is fed back to development, and THEY will decide which of them will be taken up in a new release and when. We (mods) cannot influence that.

Hi Juan,

I don’t agree. When an official Philips moderator starts a topic here called ‘technical feedback ' and request users to post their experiences, this is no longer a user-to-user forum only but also a source for Philips to obtain fail mode information. (Something which Philips’ own testing department in my opinion hasn’t succeeded to do well). I would say that is also what motivates people to supply detailed information or constructive criticism here instead of slander Philips TV’s elsewhere on the internet.
I just establish you and Benedickte had a more active role in threads about former SW-releases asking for details/examples etc. I think that contributed a lot to the feeling something was actually done with the information. This is showing in the decreasing number of posts in this (and especially the feedback) thread. And to me it is just not a very promising development if Philips let’s a useful source of information dry out.

Regards.

For the next firmware, you might improve the reproduction of the videos in order that it is easier to go from a point to other one. For example if I want to see a video from the half, I have to go advancing up to this point and it is late very much. The better thing would be that it was possible to go to a concrete point of the video. Please arrange this, it is very simple. Thank you
